calcSiteShade: Calculate site shade

In PredictiveEcology/LandR: Landscape Ecosystem Modelling in R

Calculate site shade

Description

Calculate site shade

Usage

calcSiteShade(currentTime, cohortData, speciesEcoregion, minRelativeB)

Arguments

currentTime	The current simulation time e.g., time(sim).
cohortData	A data.table with columns: pixelGroup, ecoregionGroup, speciesCode, and optionally age, B, mortality, aNPPAct, and sumB.
speciesEcoregion	A data.table with species-ecoregion-specific species trait values. Ecoregion refers to "ecolocation", a categorical variable grouping sites with similar biophysical characteristics. The table should have at least the following columns: speciesCode and ecoregionGroup, character representation of species and ecoregion groups respectively, maxB the maximum biomass for the species in a given 'ecoregion', maxANPP the maximum aboveground net primary productivity and SEP the species establishment probability. May contain columns inflationFactor (used to adjust maxB) and mANPPproportion (used to calculate maxANPP).
minRelativeB	a data.frame with the cut points to classify stand shadiness.

Value

cohortData table with a siteShade column
